I have a torque spring and mine doesn't shudder. You have the old-style 1984-1987.5 drive/driven clutch setup, I've heard they can be problematic. If one of your clutches is the issue, I'd convert both clutches to the '88-up style. They are a better design. But you do have to get both, the new style clutches move the belt closer to the motor.

Put the cart in maintenance mode and run the motor. Watch the clutches and make sure the belt is moving up and down the sheaves smoothly as you gas it.

My cart will do 20mph even with 22" tires on it. You'll need to adjust or remove the governor to get that.
